Great question honestly, affiliate marketing has evolved a lot. What’s working now isn’t just dropping links; it’s building trust first. I’ve found that niche content (blogs, short videos, or even email lists) that solves a real problem tends to convert best. People want honest reviews, real use cases, and content that doesn’t feel salesy. Also, promoting high-ticket or recurring commission products is way more sustainable than chasing $5 sales. It’s really about playing the long game and adding value before asking for a click.

Build a Personal Brand

> People trust people, not random links.

Create authentic content around your niche (TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, blog).

Be consistent and show your face.

Share personal stories + results with the product.

Why it works: Trust = conversions. Even micro-influencers are outperforming big names when their audience is highly engaged.

Honestly, focusing on niche content, building trust, and using platforms like TikTok or YouTube Shorts works best now.
